Hi,
I'm in the market for a good summer bike for long spins and sportives. I am a big guy (19 stone) and currently ride a Dolan Hercules on handbuilt wheels.
I'd like the following-
Carbon frame with sportives/relaxed geometry
Di2 Ultegra
Handbuilt wheels or I can upgrade them later

I've looked at the Rose Xeon CGF 3100 and the Canyon Endurace and they look like great value. I like a bike with a complete groupset too.
Also looked at the Cube agree GTC SL but I think it's too racey and low in the front.

Is there anything else I should be looking at?

    Not such good value perhaps but you might want to have a look at the Trek Domane - I know a big lad who has one and loves it.

    VmanF3,
    That's a bit smart for my liking. Down nearly 3 stone already so I'm hoping this bike will keep me going in the right directing.
    I'm not sure if you should be hanging round an advice forum.

    Volagi Liscio might suit. Meanredspider on this forum loves his and they get good reviews.

    Alright Mr. Sensitive! I myself was a 'chubber' not so long ago, the bike definitely helped, but then seriously, diet is more important. So actually diet wasn't such a crap bit of advice.
